You can bypass that by loading the page, and then on UBlock I click
"disable javascript". I can then page down to the end.

I didn't have the time yesterday to see what was going on with that

the issue. I tend to use the "Javascript Switcher"  extension - it's a
bit easier than going through uBlock as it's a single click to disable/
enable Javascript.

It is also a single click on uBlock.

 Two clicks - one to bring up the uBlock options, and another click to disable Javascript. It's a single click with the Switcher extension.

 By the way, did you find out what the Javascript did to get that application error? Console info is above me I'm afraid.
